Alan Judd goes Motoring

Now, the drinks problems behind him and the riding ban served, he is determined to graft his way back to the top. ‘I have come back as hungry as I have ever been,’ he says. ‘I am starting to ride for the right people again and if the chances come I will grab them with both hands.’

Brian Meehan, he says, will never think twice about putting him up in a decent race and he is hopeful of rides again from Sir Michael Stoute. ‘It’s great just to go down there and ride good horses for him at home. Just getting the feel of a good horse gives you that buzz.’

‘I want to be a world-class rider and there is only one way to get there, keeping my head down and working. I’ve proved before, with ten years in the north, that I can work hard, now all I can do is rebuild.’ Punters might find it rewarding to keep an eye on a man on a mission.
